Rahul Dravid probably to declare retirement shortly
Dravid, like most other Indian batsmen, has had a poor run in the current four-Test series which will conclude tomorrow with India likely to suffer another defeat to give Australia a clean sweep. He made 194 runs at an average of 24.25 in this series. Before this series he is in blind form but the luck is not going his way.
Dravid has already announced his retirement from one-day cricket and Twenty20 in England this year so far.
The elegant right hander, nicknamed as ‘The Wall’ for his dour defence, is the second highest run getter in Test history with 13,288 runs, behind only Sachin Tendulkar who has 15,470 runs. He has 36 Test centuries with a highest score of 270 and an average of 52.31.
Dravid is the only one has taken more catches (210) than anyone else in Test history during his 164 Test matches since he made his debut against England at Lord’s in 1996. He captained India from December 2005 to August 2007. Due to failure in world cup 2007 he quits from the captaincy.
Well in the latest series there is a question mark across one more Indian batsmen V V S Laxman who too had a depressed run opposite to Australia. Still there is no words concerning to his future plans. [ with the inputs from internet and andhrawishesh]
